Haus der Musik

Frommer's Review

This full-scale museum devoted to music is both hands-on and high-tech. You can take to the podium and conduct the Vienna Philharmonic. Wandering the building's halls and niches, you encounter reminders of the great composers who have lived in Vienna -- not only Mozart, but also Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, and others. In the rooms, you can listen to your favorite renditions of their works or explore memorabilia. A memorial, "Exodus," pays tribute to the Viennese musicians driven into exile or murdered by the Nazis. At the Musicantino Restaurant on the top floor, enjoy a panoramic view of the city and some good food. There's a coffeehouse on the ground floor.
